[BITList] Dictionary for youngsters perplexed by 'gran slang' -Telegraph

[HUGH]

Mike,

Where do they get all this yoofspeak nonsense?  I've never heard a youngster say any of it.  The present "generation gap" was invented by the media people who invented the prefix "retro", something they call "street cred", the concept called "cool", and guff like "green is tomorrow's blue", to mention only a few. It gives them something to write about when news is slack.  Dear heavens, in the late 1930s jazz musicians were using "cool".

Hugh.
